harmless electrical current through your body and measures your body fat percentage.

A person with a BMI over 30 is considered to be
Obese, and a BMI over 40 is considered to be severely obese.
It's important to remember thought that BMI could Be misleading in pregnant or lactating women and in muscular individuals.
With obesity, comes the increased risk of diseases Such as high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes, Heart disease, and breast, colon and prostate cancer.
